    What are good employed GSR engineers being paid these days?

    Would you give a CP12 to this boiler?

    I would say that needs to come.off for me to do the inspection and it needs x amount of gap as per manufacturer instructions. Builders don't know all the rules and regs they just think I'll build a box round that to make it look good etc As for cp12. No I wouldn't issue one without being able...
